Answer:
[tex]1\frac{1}{30}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3 partially full cans contain 1/3 gallon 1/5 gallon and 1/2 gallon of paint.
To find the total gallons of paint , add all the amount of gallons of paint
[tex]\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{5} +\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
To add all fractions the denominators should be same
LCD is 30. multiply first fraction by 10, second fraction by 6 and third fraction by 15
[tex]\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{5} +\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{30} +\frac{6}{30} +\frac{15}{30}[/tex]
Now add all the numerators
[tex]\frac{10+6+15}{30}=\frac{31}{30}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{31}{30}=1\frac{1}{30}[/tex]
